Hello, my name is Israel. I am 17 years of age. I started playing table tennis at 13 years old starting at this age meant I had a lot of catching up to do and I believe I have as I am currently ranked 7 in U17’s, 18 in U18’s and 61 in U21’s within the country. In the 4 years of me playing I have come a long way in this short time I have achieved many things in the English circuit I have won the cadet band 1 event at the East Midlands 4 star in 2015, I won the mens band 5 at the 2017 bath Grand Prix, the band 4 in the 2017 London Grand Prix and have come runner up in the Blackpool 4 star and Cippenham 4 star junior events and more. But with all these achievements there is still a long way to go. The next step is playing international tournaments and going to play in the french league which is quite costly as I have to pay for entry fees, travel and accommodation so any contribution will be truly appreciated no matter how big or how small. i appreciate you taking the time to read this. Thank you, Israel.
